GLACIER  NATIONAL  PARK. 


GENERAL  DESCRIPTION. 

The  Glacier  National  Park,  in  northwestern  Montana,  incloses 
981,681  acres  or  1,534  square  miles  of  the  noblest  mountain  country  in 
America.  The  park  was  established  by  the  act  of  May  11,  1910. 
Its  name  is  derived  from  its  60  glaciers.  There  are  more  than  90  all 
told,  if  one  classes  as  glaciers  many  interesting  snow  patches  of 
only  a  few  acres  each,  which  exhibit  most  of  the  characteristics  of 
true  glaciers.  It  possesses  individuality  in  high  degree.  In  rugged- 
ness  and  sheer  grandeur  it  probably  surpasses  the  Alps,  though 
geologically  it  is  nuirkedly  different.  It  resembles  the  Canadian 
Rockies  more  closely  than  any  other  scenic  country.  The  general 
geological  structure  is  the  same  in  both,  but  the  rocks  of  Glacier  are 
enormously  older  and  much  more  richly  colored.  The  Canadian 
Eockies  have  the  advantage  of  more  imposing  masses  of  snow  and 
ice  in  summer,  but,  for  that  very  reason.  Glacier  is  much  more  easily 
and  comfortably  traveled. 

Glacier  strongly  differentiates  also  from  other  mountain  scenery 
in  America.  Ice-clad  Rainier,  mysterious  Crater  Lake,  spouting 
Yellowstone,  exquisite  Yosemite,  beautiful  Sequoia — to  each  of  these 
and  to  all  others  of  our  national  parks  Glacier  offers  a  highly  indi- 
vidualized contrast. 

Nor  is  this  scenic  wonderland  merely  a  sample  of  the  neighbor- 
hood. North  of  the  park  the  mountains  rapidly  lose  their  scenic 
interest.  South  and  west  there  is  little  of  gTeater  interest  than  the 
mountains  commonly  crossed  in  a  transcontinental  journey.  To  the 
east  lie  the  Plains. 

To  define  Glacier  National  Park,  picture  to  yourself  two  approach- 
ing chains  of  vast  tumbled  mountains,  the  Livingston  and  Lewis 
Ranges,  which  pass  the  Continental  Divide  back  and  forth  between 
them  m  wormlike  twistings,  which  bear  living  glaciers  in  every  hol- 
low of  their  loftiest  convolutions,  and  which  break  precipitately 
thousands  of  feet  to  lower  mountain  masses,  which,  in  their  turn, 
bear  innumerable  lakes  of  unbelievable  charm,  offspring  of  the 
glaciers  above;  these  lakes,  in  their  turn,  giving  birth  to  roaring- 
rivers  of  icy  water,  leaping  turbulently  from  level  to  level,  carving 
innumerable  sculptured  gorges  of  grandeur  and  indescribable  beauty. 


10  GLACIEi:    NATIONAL   PARK. 

These  parallel  mountain  masses  form  a  central  backbone  for  the 
national  park.  Their  western  sides  slope  from  the  summit  less  pre- 
cipitately. Their  eastern  sides  break  abruptly.  It  is  on  the  east  that 
their  scenic  quality  becomes  titanic. 

A  ROMANCE  IN  ROCKS. 

To  really  comprehend  the  personality  of  Glacier,  one  must  glance 
back  for  a  moment  into  the  geological  past  when  the  sea  rolled  over 
what  is  noAv  the  northwest  of  this  continent.  If  you  were  in  the 
Glacier  National  Park  to-day,  you  would  see  broad  horizontal  bands 
of  variously  colored  rocks  in  the  mountain  masses  thousands  of  feet

above  your  head.    These  are  the  very  strata  that  the  waters  deposited 
in  their  depths  centuries  of  centuries  ago. 

According  to  one  famous  theory  of  creation,  the  earth  has  been 
contracting  ever  since  a  period  when  it  was  once  gas.  According  to 
Chamberlain's  recent  theory,  it  never  was  a  globe  of  gas,  but  a  mass 
of  rocks  Avhich  continually  shift  and  settle  under  the  whirling  motion 
around  its  axis.  Whichever  theory  you  accept,  the  fact  stands  that, 
as  it  contracted,  its  sides  have  bulged  in  places  like  the  sides  of  a 
squeezed  orange.  This  is  what  must  have  happened  Avhere  the  Gla- 
cier National  Pai'k  now  is.  Under  urge  of  the  terrible  squeezing 
forces  the  crust  lifted,  emerged,  and  became  land.  Untold  ages 
passed,  and  the  land  hardened  into  rock. .  And  all  the  time  the  forces 
kept  pressing  togetlier  and  upward  the  ro;-ky  crust  of  the  earth. 


GLACIER   NATIOI-TAL   PARK.  11 

For  untold  ages  this  cnist  held  safe,  but  at  last  pressure  won. 
The  rocks  first  yielded  upward  in  long,  irregular,  waA'elike  folds. 
Gradually  these  folds  grew  in  size.  When  the  rocks  could  stand  the 
strain  no  longer,  gi-eat  cracks  appeared,  and  one  broken  edge,  the 
western,  was  thrust  upward  and  over  the  other.  The  edge  that  was 
thrust  over  the  other  was  thousands  of  feet  thick.  Its  crumbling 
formed  the  mountains  and  the  precipices. 

When  it  settled,  the  western  edge  of  this  break  overlapped  the 
eastern  edge  10  to  15  miles.  A  glance  at  diagram  1  will  make  it  clear. 
A  represents  the  original  water-laid  rock ;  B  the  first  yieldings  to  in- 
ternal pressure ;  C  the  gi-eat  folds  before  the  break  came ;  D  and  E 
the  way  the  western  edges  overlapped  the  eastern  edges  Avhen  the 
movement  ceased. 

THE  LEWIS  OVERTHRUST. 

This  thrusting  of  one  edge  of  the  burst  and  split  continent  over  the 
other  edge  is  called  faulting  by  geologists,  and  this  particular  fault 
is  called  the  Lewis  Overthrust.  It  is  the  overthrust  which  gives  the 
l?eculiar  character  to  this  amazing  country,  that  and  the  inconceiv- 
ably tumbled  character  of  the  vast  rocky  masses  lying  crumbling  on 
its  edges. 

It  is  interesting  to  trace  the  course  of  the  Lewis  Overthrust  on  a 
topographic  map  of  the  park.  The  Continental  Divide,  which  repre- 
sents the  loftiest  crest  of  this  overthrust  mass,  is  shown  on  the  map. 
These  two  irregular  lines  tell  the  story ;  but  not  all  the  story,  for  the 
snow  and  the  ice  and  the  rushing  waters  have  been  wonderfully  and 
fantastically  carving  these  rocks  with  icy  chisels  during  the  untold 
ages  since  the  great  upheaval. 

MAGNIFICENTLY  COLORED  STRATA. 

To  understand  the  magnificent  rocky  coloring  of  Glacier  National 
Park,  one  must  go  back  a  moment  to  the  beginning  of  things.  The 
vast  interior  of  the  earth,  more  or  less  solid  rock  according  to  Cham- 
berlain, is  unknown  to  us  because  we  have  never  been  able  to  pene- 
trate farther  than  a  few  thousand  feet  from  the  surface.  The  rock 
we  do  not  know  about,  geologists  call  the  Archean.  What  we  do 
know  a  good  deal  about  are  the  rocks  above  the  Archean.  Of  these 
known  rocks  the  very  lowest  and  consequently  the  oldest  are  the  rock 
strata  which  are  exposed  in  Glacier  National  Park.  Geologists  call 
these  strata  the  Algonkian.  They  were  laid  as  an  ocean  bottom  sedi- 
ment at  least  80,000,000  years  ago.  Some  of  the  rocks  of  tliis  age 
appear  in  the  Grand  Canyon  of  the  Colorado,  but  nowhere  in  the 
Avorld  are  they  displayed  in  such  area,  profusion,  and  variety  and 
magnificence  of  coloring  as  in  Glacier  National  Park.

These  Algonkian  rocks  lie  in  four  differentl}'  colored  strata,  all  of 
which  the  visitor  at  Glacier  may  easily  distinguish  for  himself.  Tlie 
lowest  of  these,  the  rock  that  actually  lay  next  to  the  old  Archean,  is 
called  the  Altyn  limestone.  This  is  about  1,G00  feet  thick.  It  is 
faint  blue  inside,  but  it  weathers  a  pale  buff.  There  are  whole  yellow 
mountains  of  this  on  the  eastern  edge  of  the  park. 

Next  above  the  Altyn  limestone  lies  a  layer  of  Appekunny  argillite, 
or  green  shale.  This  is  about  3,400  feet  thick.  It  weathers  every 
possible  shade  of  dull  green. 

Next  above  that  lies  more  than  2,200  feet  of  Grinnell  argillite,  or 
red  shale.  This  weathers  every  possible  shade  of  deep  red  and  pur- 
ple, almost  to  black.  Both  the  shales  have  a  good  deal  of  white 
quartzite  mixed  with  them. 

Next  above  that  rises  more  than  4,000  feet  of  Siyeh  limestone,  very 
solid,  very  massive,  very  gray,  and  running  in  places  to  j^ellow. 
Horizontally  through  the  middle  of  th:s  is  seen  a  broad  dark  ribbon

or  band;  one  of  the  characteristic  spectacles  in  all  parts  of  Glacier 
National  Park.  This  is  called  the  diorite  intrusion.  It  is  as  hard 
as  granite.  In  fact  it  is  very  much  like  granite,  indeed.  It  got 
there  by  bursting  up  from  below  when  it  was  fluid  hot  and  spread- 
ing a  layer  all  over  what  was  then  the  bottom  of  the  sea.  When 
this  cooled  and  hardened  more  limestone  was  deposited  on  top  of  it, 
which  is  why  it  now  looks  like  a  horizontal  ribbon  running  through 
those  lofty  gray  limestone  precipices. 

In  some  parts  of  the  park  near  the  north  there  are  remnants  of 
other  strata  which  surmounted  the  Siyeh  limestone,  but  they  are  so 
infrequent  that  they  interest  only  the  geologists.  The  four  strata 
mentioned  above  are,  however,  plain  to  every  eye. 

Now,  when  these  vividly  colored  rocks  were  lifted  high  in  the  air 
from  their  first  renting  place  in  the  sea  bottom,  and  then  cracked  and 
one  edge  thrust  violently  over  the  other,  they  sagged  in  the  middle 
just  where  the  park  now  lies.     If  a  horizontal  line,  for  instance,  were 


GLACIER   I^ATIOlSrAL,  PARK.  13 

drawn  straight  across  Glacier  National  Park  from  east  to  west  it 
would  pass  through  the  bottom  of  the  AJtyn  Imiestone  on  the  east  and 
west  boundaries ;  but  in  the  middle  of  the  park  it  would  pass  through 
the  top  of  the  Siyeh  Imiestone.  Therefore  it  would,  and  does,  cut 
diagonally  through  the  green  and  the  red  argillities  on  both  sides  of 
the  Continental  Divide.  That  is  why  all  this  colorful  glacier  country 
appears  to  be  so  upset,  twisted,  inextricably  mixed.  Bear  in  mind 
this  fact  and  you  will  soon  see  reason  and  order  in  what  to  the  un- 
tutored eye  seems  a  disorderly  kaleidoscope. 

Thus  was  formed  in  the  dim  days  before  man,  for  the  pleasure  of 
the  American  people  of  to-day,  the  Glacier  National  Park. 

CARVED  BY  WATER  AND  ICE. 

It  probably  took  millions  of  years  for  the  west  edge  of  the  cracked 
surface  to  rise  up  and  push  over  the  east  edge.  When  this  took  place 
is,  geologically  speaking,  quite  clear,  because  the  ancient  Algonkian 
rock  at  this  point  rests  on  top  of  rocks  which  have  been  identified 
by  their  fossils  as  belonging  to  the  much  younger  Cretaceous  period. 
How  much  younger  can  not  be  expressed  in  years  or  millions  of  years, 
for  no  man  knows.  It  is  enough  to  say  here  that  the  whole  i^rocess 
of  overthrusting  was  so  slow  that  tlie  eroding  of  all  the  strata  since 
which  lay  above  the  Algonkian  may  have  kept  almost  abreast  of  it. 

Anyway,  after  the  fault  was  fully  accomx^lished,  the  enormously 
thick  later  strata  all  washed  away  and  the  aged  Algonkian  rocks 
wholly  exposed,  it  took  perhaps  several  million  years  more  to  cut  into 
and  carve  them  as  they  are  cut  and  carved  to-day. 

This  was  done,  iirst,  by  countless  centuries  of  rainfall  and  frost ; 
second,  by  the  first  of  three  ice  packs  which  descended  from  the 
north ;  third,  by  many  more  centuries  of  rainfall,  frost,  and  glacier ; 
fourth,  by  the  second  ice  pack;  fifth,  by  many  more  centuries  of 
rainfall,  frost,  and  glacier;  sixth,  by  the  third  ice  pack^  and  sev- 
enth, by  all  the  rains  and  frosts  down  to  the  present  time,  the  tiny 
glaciers  still  remaining  doing  each  its  bit. 

The  result  of  all  this  is  that  in  entering  Glacier  National  Park 
to-day  the  visitor  enters  a  land  of  enormous  hollowed  cirques  sepa- 
rated from  each  other  by  knife-edged  walls,  many  of  which  are 
nearly  perpendicular.  Many  a  monster  peak  is  merely  the  rock  re- 
mains of  glacial  corrodings  from  every  side,  supplemented  by  the 
chipping  of  the  frosts  of  winter  and  the  washing  of  the  rains  and 
the  torrents. 

Once  upon  the  crest  of  the  Continental  Divide,  one  can  often  walk 
for  miles  along  a  narrow  edge  with  series  of  tremendous  gulfs  on 
both  sides.  Wliere  glaciers  have  eaten  into  opposite  sides  of  the 
Continental  Divide  so  far  that  they  have  begim  to  cut  down  the

dividing  wall,  passes  ai^  forme'd;  that  is,  hollows  in  the  mountain 
w^all  which  permit  of  readier  passage  from  side  to  side.  Gimsight 
Pass  is  of  this  kind.  So  are  Dawson,  Swiftciirrent,  Triple  Divide, 
Eed  Eagle,  Ptarmigan,  Piegan,  and  many  others. 

Any  visitor  to  Glacier  National  Park  can  identify  these  structural 
features  with  ease,  and  a  knowledge  of  them  will  greatly  increase  his 
pleasure  in  the  unique  scenery.  Even  the  casual  visitor  may  identify 
the  general  features  from  the  porches  of  the  hotels  and  chalets,  while 
a  hiking  or  horseback  trip  from  the  Many  Glacier  Hotel  to  Iceberg 
Lake,  ovei^  Swiftcurrent  Pass  to  Granite  Park,  over  Piegan  Pass  to 
St.  Mary  Lake,  or  over  Piegan  and  Gunsight  Passes  to  Lake  McDon- 
ald, will  serve  to  fix  the  glacier  geological  conformation  in  mind 
so  definitely  that  the  experience  will  always  remain  one  of  the  hap- 
piest and  most  enlightening  in  one's  life.

ADVANTAGES  OF   CAMPING  OUT. 

It  is  to  the  more  leisurely  traveler,  however,  that  comes  the  gi^eater 
joy.  He  who  travels  from  hotel  to  chalets,  from  chalets  to  hotel,  and 
then,  having  seen  the  things  usually  seen,  engages  a  really  competent 
guide,  takes  horses  and  camping  outfit,  and  embarks  upon  the  trails 
to  wander  and  to  linger  Avhere  he  will,  is  apt  to  find  a  month  or  more 
in  Glacier  National  Park  an  experience  wonderfully  rich  in  knowl- 
edge and  in  pleasure. 

Notwithstanding  the  excellent  equipment  of  the  Saddle  Horse  Co., 
such  an  experience  is  not  unadventurous.  Once  off  the  excellent 
trails  in  the  developed  part  of  the  park,  the  trails  are  little  better 
than  the  original  game  trails.  Unimproved  wilderness  is  as  rough 
in  Glacier  National  Park  as  anywhere  else.  But  compensations  are 
many.  Wild  animals  are  more  frequent  and  tamer,  fishing  is  finer, 
and  there  is  the  joy,  by  no  means  to  be  despised,  of  feeling  oneself 


GLACIER   NATIONAL  PARK.  15 

far  removed  from  human  neighborhood.  On  such  trips  one  may 
venture  far  afield,  may  explore  glaciers,  may  climb  divides  for 
extraordinary  views,  may  linger  for  the  best  fishing,  may  spend  idle 
days  in  spots  of  inspirational  beauty. 

The  Saddle  Horse  Co.,  provides  excellent  small  sleeping  tents  and 
a  complete  outfitting  of  comforts.  But  insist  on  two  necessities — a 
really  efficient  guide  and  a  Government  contour  map.  Learn  to  read 
the  map  yourself,  consult  it  continually,  and  Glacier  is  yours. 

This  advice  about  the  map  applies  to  all  visitors  to  Glacier  who 
at  all  want  to  understand.  To  make  sure,  get  your  Government  map 
yourself.  It  can  be  had  for  25  cents  from  the  park  superintendent 
at  Belton,  Mont.,  or  by  mail  at  the  same  price  from  the  United  States 
Geological  Survey,  Washington,  D.  C. 

A  GENERAL  VIEW. 

From  the  Continental  Divide,  which,  roughly  speaking,  lies  north 
and  south  through  the  park,  descend  19  principal  valleys,  T  on  the 
east  side  and  12  on  the  west.  Of  course,  there  are  very  many  smaller 
valleys  tributary  to  each  of  these  larger  valleys.  Through  these  val- 
leys run  the  rivers  from  the  glaciers  far  up  on  the  mountains. 

Many  of  these  valleys  have  not  yet  been  thoroughly  explored.  It 
is  probable  that  some  of  them  have  never  yet  been  even  entered  unless 
possibly  by  Indians,  for  the  great  Blackfeet  Indian  Reservation,  one 
of  the  many  tracts  of  land  set  apart  for  the  Indians  still  remaining 
in  this  country,  adjoins  the  Glacier  National  Park  on  the  east. 

There  are  250  known  lakes.  Probably  there  are  small  ones  in  the 
wilder  parts  which  white  men  have  not  yet  even  seen. 

The  average  tourist  really  sees  a  very  small  part  of  the  glorious 
l)eauties  of  the  region,  though  what  he  does  see  is  eminently  typical. 
He  usually  enters  at  the  east  entrance,  visits  the  Two  Medicine  Lakes, 
and  passes  on  to  St.  Mary  Lake,  believed  by  many  travelers  the  n)ost 
beautiful  lake  in  the  world.  After  seeing  some  of  the  many  charms 
of  this  region,  he  passes  on  to  Lake  McDermott,  in  the  Swiftcurrent 
Valley.  The  visitor  then  usually  crosses  over  the  famous  Gunsight 
Pass  to  the  west  side,  where  he  usually  but  foolishly  contents  liimself 
with  a  visit  to  beautiful  Lake  McDonald  and  leaves  by  the  Belton 
entrance. 

THE  WEST  SIDE. 

But  the  west  side  contains  enormous  areas  which  some  day  will  be 
considered  perhaps  the  finest  scenery  in  the  accessible  world.  To 
the  north  of  Lake  McDonald  lie  valleys  of  unsurpassed  gi-andeur.  At 
the  present  time  they  may  be  seen  only  by  those  who  carry  camp  out- 
fits with  them.

Bowmiin  Lake  and  its  valle}-,  I\Jiitia  Lake  and  its  vallej'^ — these 
are  names  which  some  day  will  be  familiar  on  both  sides  of  the  sea. 

HISTORY. 

This  region  appears  not  to  have  been  visited  by  v^hite  men  before 
1853,  when  A.  W.  Tinkham,  a  Government  engineer,  exploring  a 
ix)ute  for  a  Pacific  railroad,  ascended  Nyack  Creek  by  mistake  and 
retraced  his  steps  when  he  discovered  the  impracticability  for  rail- 
road piLqwses  of  the  country  he  had  penetrated. 

The  next  explorers  were  a  group  of  sur\^yors  establishing  the 
Canadian  boundary  line.  This  was  in  1861.  Li  1890  copper  ore 
was  found  at  the  head  of  Quartz  Creek  and  there  was  a  rush  of  pros- 
pectors. The  east  side  of  the  Continental  Divide,  being  part  of  the 
Blackfeet  Indian  Reservation,  was  closed  to  prospectors,  and  Con- 
gress was  importuned  for  relief.  In  1896  this  was  purchased  from 
the  Indians  for  $1,500,000,  but  not  enough  copper  was  found  to  pay 
for  the  mining.  Tliei^eafter  it  was  visited  only  by  big  game  hunters 
and  occasional  lovers  of  scenery.  It  was  made  a  national  park  May 
11,  1910. 

EAST     SIDE    VALLEYS. 

Glacier  National  Park  is  best  studied  valley  by  valley.  There  are 
7  principal  valleys  on  its  eastern  side,  12  on  its  west.  Let  us  con- 
sider its  eastern  side  first,  beginning  at  the  south  as  you  enter  from 
the  railroad  entrance  at  Glacier  Park  Station. 

TWO  MEDICINf:  VALLEY. 

Because  of  its  location.  Two  Medicine  Valley  is  one  of  the  best 
known  sections  of  Glacier.  It  is  a  capital  illustration  of  the  char- 
acteristic effects  of  glacial  action  on  valleys  as  shown  by  diagram  2. 
The  automobile  stage  skirts  the  eastern  side  of  the  range  for  half 
an  hour,  and  turning  west  past  Lower  Two  Medicine  Lake,  pene- 
trates the  range  south  of  noble  Eising  Wolf  ^lountain.  The  road 
stops  at  the  chalets  at  the  foot  of  Two  ^ledicine  Lake,  fronting  a 
group  of  highly  colored,  ornately  carved  mountains,  which  has  be- 
come one  of  the  country's  celebrated  spectacles.  Back  of  triangular 
Mount  Rockwell  across  the  water  is  seen  the  Continental  Divide. 

]Most  tourists  content  themselves  with  a  visit  of  two  or  three  hours, 
including  luncheon  at  the  chalets.  But  the  few  who  take  horse  and 
explore  tlie  noble  cirque  system  west  of  the  lake,  and,  climbing  the 
divide,  look  over  Dawson  Pass  upon  the  tumbled  snow-daubed  peaks 
of  the  lower  west  side,  have  an  unforgetable  experience.  Another 
trail  route  leads  from  the  chalets  up  Dry  Fork  to  Cut  Bknk  Pass, 
from  the  top  of  which  one  trail  leads  into  the  west  side  valley  of 


GLACIER   NATION Ali  PAEK.  17 

Nyack  Creek,  disclosing  the  same  view  as  tliat  from  Dawson  Pass, 
but  at  a  different  angle,  and  another  trail  drops  into  the  noble  lake- 
studded  cirque  which  is  the  head  of  North  Fork  of  Cut  Bank  Creek. 
There  are  few  finer  spots  in  iVmerica  than  the  top  of  Cut  Bank  Pass, 
with  its  indescribable  triple  outlook. 

CUT  BANK  VALLEY. 

Cut  Bank  Valley,  next  to  the  north,  is  another  glacier-rounded  val- 
ley. It  is  one  of  the  easiest  to  explore.  It  is  entered  by  trail  from 
the  south,  as  described  above,  or  by  automobile  from  east  of  the 
park  boundary ;  the  road  ends  at  the  Cut  Bank  Chalets,  picturesquely 
situated  on  North  Fork  of  Cut  Bank  Creek  at  the  foot  of  Amphi- 
theater Mountain.  Cut  Bank  Valley  has  also  a  northern  cirque  at 
the  head  of  which  is  one  of  the  most  interesting  passes  in  the  Rocky 
Mountains.  From  Triple  Divide  Peak  the  waters  flow  in  three  direc- 
tions, to  the  Gulf  of  IMexico  by  Cut  Bank  Creek  and  the  Missouri 
River,  to  Hudson  Bay  by  St.  Mary  River,  and  to  the  Pacific  Ocean 
by  Flathead  River.  Triple  Divide  Pass  crosses  a  spur  which  connects 
Mount  James  with  the  Continental  Divide,  but  it  does  not  cross  the 
divide  itself.  Tlie  Pass  leads  down  into  Norris  Creek  Basin  and 
thence  into  Red  Eagle  Vallej^  Cut  Bank  Chalets  afford  excellent 
accommodations.    Large  trout  are  abundant  in  the  neighborhood. 

BED    EAGLE    VAT  .LEY. 

Red  Eagle  Valley,  still  farther  nortli,  is  one  of  the  most  pictur- 
esque in  the  park.  Its  glacier  was  once  2,000  feet  deep.  One  of  its 
several  existing  glaciers  may  be  seen  from  any  point  in  the  valley. 
This  important  valley  originates  in  two  principal  cirque  systems. 
The  lesser  is  the  Norris  Creek  Basin,  above  referred  to.  The  greater 
is  at  the  head  of  Red  Eagle  Creek,  a  magnificent  area  lying  almost 
as  high  as  the  Continental  Divide  and  carrying  the  picturesque  Red 
Eagle  Glacier  and  a  number  of  small  umiamed  lakes.  Mount  Logan 
guards  this  cirque  on  the  west,  Almost-a-Dog  Mountain  on  the  north. 
The  valley  from  this  j)oint  to  the  mouth  of  Red  Eagle  Creek  in  St. 
Mary  Lake  near  the  park  boundary  is  very  beautiful,  broad,  mag- 
nificently forested  and  bounded  on  the  north  by  the  backs  of  the 
mountains  whose  superb  front  elevations  make  St.  Mary  Lake  fa- 
mous.   Red  Eagle  Lake  is  celebrated  for  its  large  cutthroat  trout. 

ST.  MARY  VALLEY. 

St.  Mary  Valley,  the  next  to  the  north,  is  one  of  the  largest  and 
most  celebrated.    Its  trail  to  Ounsight  Pass  is  the  principal  highway 


Chiet  Mountain,  one  oi  me  noblest  personalities  m  Ulacier;  Uitadel 
Mountain,  whose  eastern  spur  suggests  an  inverted  keel  boat;  Fusi- 
lacle  Mountain,  which  stands  like  a  sharp  tilted  cone  at  the  head  of 
the  lake;  Reynolds  Mountain,  which  rises  above  the  rugged  snow- 
flecked  front  of  the  Continental  Divide;  and,  on  the  north.  Going- to- 
the-Sun  Mountain,  one  of  the  finest  mountain  masses  in  any  land. 
The  view  west  from  the  Going-to-the-Sun  Chalets  is  one  of  the 
greatest  in  America. 

SWirTCTJKRENT  VALLEY. 


Swiftcurrent  Valley,  next  to  the  north,  was  famous  in  the  mining 
days  and  is  famous  to-day  for  the  sublimity  of  its  scenery.  It  is  by 
far  the  most  celebrated  valley  in  the  parks  so  far,  and  will  not  dimin- 
ish in  popularity  and  importance  when  the  more  sensational  valleys 
in  the  north  become  accessible.  Its  large  and  complicated  cirque 
system  centers  in  one  of  the  wildest  and  most  beautiful  bodies  of 
water  in  the  world.  Lake  McDermott,  upon  whose  shores  stand  the 
Many  Glacier  Hotel  and  the  Many  Glacier  Chalets.  No  less  than 
four  glaciers  are  visible  from  the  lake  shore  and  many  noble  moun- 
tains. Mount  Grinnell,  the  monster  of  the  lake  view,  is  one  of  the 
most  imposing  in  the  park,  but  Mount  Gould,  up  the  Cataract  Creek 
Valley,  vies  with  it  in  magnificence  and,  as  seen  from  the  lake,  excels 
it  in  individuality.  The  view  westward  up  the  Swiftcurrent  River 
is  no  less  remarkable,  disclosing  Swiftcurrent  Peak,  the  Garden 
Wall  in  its  most  picturesque  aspects,  and  jagged  Mount  Wilbur, 
inclosing  the  famous  Iceberg  Gorge.  From  Lake  McDermott,  trail 
trips  are  taken  to  Ptarmigan  Lake,  to  Iceberg  Lake,  over  Swift- 
current pass  to  Granite  Park,  where  an  amazing  view  may  be  had 
of  the  central  valley,  to  Grinnell  Glacier,  over  Piegan  Pass  to  St. 
Mary  Lake,  and  up  Canj^on  Creek  to  the  wonderful  chasm  of  Cracker 
Lake,  above  which  Mount  Siyeh  rises  almost  vertically  4,000  feet. 

There  are  more  than  a  dozen  lakes,  great  and  small,  in  the  Swift- 
current Valley.  The  most  conspicuous  are  the  two  Sherburne  Lakes, 
Lake  McDermott,  Lake  Josephine,  Grinnell  Lake,  the  three  Swift- 
current Lakes,  Iceberg  Lake,  and  Ptarmigan  Lake.  These  all  have 
remarkable  beauty.  The  Lewis  Overthrust  may  be  observed  at  the 
falls  of  the  Swiftcurrent  River  just  below  Lake  McDermott.  East- 
ward from  the  foot  of  the  main  fall  is  rock  of  the  Cretaceous  period. 
West  and  north  from  the  foot  of  the  fall  is  old  Algonkian  rock  lying 
on  top  of  the  much  younger  Cretaceous. 


are  remarKaDie  lor  tiie  lamastic  una  ueautiiui  eiiecLS  oi  ine  great 
fault.  Their  trout-haunted  streams  originate  in  cirques  east  of  the 
picturesque  red  and  yellow  mountains  which  form  the  east  walls  of 
Swiftcurrent,  and  rush  turbulently  to  the  plains.  Plere  the  evidences 
of  the  Lewis  Overthrust  are  most  apparent.  Principal  of  these  is 
Chief  Mountain,  a  tooth-sliaped  monster  of  yellow  Altyn  limestone 
standing  alone  and  detached  upon  rocks  millions  of  years  younger.  It 
is  a  single  block  of  limestone  rising  nearly  vertically  on  one  side 
1.500  feet  from  its  base. 

THE  BELLY  RIVEK  VALLEY, 

The  Belly  Eiver  Valley,  which  occupies  the  northeastern  corner  of 
the  i^ark  has  been  little  visited  because  of  its  inaccessibilit}^,  but  it  is 
destined  to  become  one  of  the  most  popular,  now  that  trail  develop- 
ment work  has  been  started  to  open  up  this  section  for  tourist  travel. 
It  contains  many  lakes  of  supurb  scenery,  overlooked  by  many 
majestic  mountains.  Eighteen  glaciers  feed  its  streams.  The  Belly 
Eiver  rises  in  a  cirque  which  lies  the  other  side  of  the  northern  wall 
of  Iceberg  Lake,  and  just  over  Ptarmigan  Pass.  Its  walls  are  lofty 
and  nearly  vertical.  Its  cirque  inclosing  Helen  Lake  is  one  of  the 
wildest  spots  in  existence  and  well  repays  the  time  and  labor  of  a 
visit.  The  Middle  Fork,  which  skirts  for  some  miles  the  south  side 
of  that  tremendous  aggregation  of  mountain  masses  called  Mount 
Cleveland,  originates  in  a  double  cirque  system  of  positively  sensa- 
tional beauty.  The  glaciers  in  which  these  originate,  only  two  of 
which,  the  Chaney  and  Shepard  Glaciers,  are  named,  are  shelved 
just  under  the  Continental  Divide,  and  from  them  their  outlet  streams 
descend  by  lake-studded  steps  to  their  junction  in  Glenns  Lake. 
Between  the  Middle  Fork  and  the  Belly  River  rises  one  of  the  most 
remarkable  mountain  masses  in  the  park,  a  rival  even  of  Cleveland, 
which  consists  of  Mount  IVIerritt  and  Crossley  Ridge  with  their  four 
impressive  hanging  glaciers.  Below  the  meeting  of  the  two  forks 
the  Belly  River,  noAV  a  fine  swelling  stream  noted  for  its  fighting 
trout,  rushes  headlong  through  the  most  luxuriant  of  valleys  north- 
ward to  the  plains  of  Canada. 

THE  CENTRAL  VALLEY. 

Of  Little  Kootenai  Valley,  also,  little  is  known  to  the  public.  It 
is  the  northern  part  of  a  magnificent  central  valley  which  splits 
Glacier  National  Park  down  from  the  top  as  far  as  ISIount  Cannon 
and  carries  on  its  sides  parallel  mountain  ranges  of  magnificent 
grandeur,  the  Livingston  Range  bordering  its  west  side,  the  Lewis

20  GLACIER   NATION^AL  PARK. 

Range  its  east  side.  In  this  Avenue  of  the  Giants,  about  at  its  center, 
rises  a  fine  wooded  tableland  known  as  Flattop  Mountain,  which, 
low  as  it  is,  bridges  the  Continental  Divide  over  from  the  Livingston 
to  the  Levris  Range.  From  this  tableland  drop,  north  and  south,  the 
two  valleys  which,  end  to  end,  form  the  great  avenue ;  Little  Kootenai 
Creek  running  north,  McDonald  Creek  running  south.  The  Little 
Kootenai  Valley  is  one  of  unusual  forest  luxuriance,  and  is  bordered 
by  glacier-spattered  peaks  of  extraordinary  majesty;  Mount  Cleve- 
land, whose  10,438  feet  of  altitude  rank  it  highest  in  the  park,  lies 
upon  its  east  side.  It  ends  in  Waterton  Lake,  across  whose  waters,  a 
little  north  of  their  middle,  passes  the  international  boundary  line 
separating  our  Glacier  National  Park  from  Canada's  AVaterton  Lakes 
Park. 

The  southern  limb  of  this  Avenue  of  the  Giants,  which  follows 
McDonald  Creek  till  it  swings  westward  around  Heavens  Peak  to 
empty  into  Lake  McDonald,  is  only  a  little  less  majestic.  It  is  upon 
the  side  of  this  superb  valley  that  the  Granite  Park  Chalets  cling, 
from  the  porches  of  which  the  eye  may  trace  the  avenue  northward 
even  across  the  Canadian  borders. 

THE  PRINCIPAL  PASSES. 

There  are  several  passes  of  more  or  less  celebrity  connecting  the 
east  and  west  sides  of  Glacier  National  Park,  several  of  which  are 
not  used  except  to  afford  magnificent  west  side  views  to  east  side 
tourists.  So  far,  four  passes  over  the  Continental  Divide  are  in 
practical  use  as  crossing  places. 

GUXSIGHT  PASS. 

The  most  celebrated  of  these  passes  is  Gunsight  Pass.  From  the 
east  it  is  reached  directly  from  St.  Mary  Lake,  and,  by  way  of  Piegan 
Pass,  from  Lake  McDermott.  From  the  west  it  is  reached  from  Lake 
McDonald.  It  is  a  U-shaped  notch  in  the  divide  between  Gunsight 
Mountain  and  Mount  Jackson.  Just  west  of  it  lies  Lake  Ellen  Wil- 
son, one  of  Glacier's  greatest  celebrities  for  beauty.  Just  east  of  it 
lies  Gunsight  Lake,  one  of  Glacier's  greatest  celebrities  for  wildness. 
From  the  foot  of  Gunsight  Lake  an  easy  trail  of  2  miles  leads  to 
Blackfeet  Glacier,  the  largest  in  the  park,  the  west  lobe  of  which  is 
readily  reached  and  presents,  within  less  than  a  mile  of  ice,  an  ad- 
mirable study  of  practically  all  the  phenomena  of  living  glaciers. 

SWirTCURRENT  PASS. 

Swiftcurrent  Pass  crosses  the  divide  from  Lake  McDermott  on  the 
east.  On  the  west  side,  one  trail  leads  north  to  the  Waterton  Lakes 
and  Canada,  another  south  to  Lake  McDonald.    Four  beautiful  shelf 


GLACIER   NATIOIs^AL  PARK.  21 

glaciers  may  be  seen  clino-intr  to  the  east  side  of  this  pass,  and  from 
the  crest  of  the  pass,  looking-  back,  a  magnificent  view  is  had  of  the 
lake-studded  Swiftciirrent  Valley.  From  the  Granite  Park  Chalets, 
just  west  of  the  pass,  a  maryelous  yiew  of  west  side  and  north  side 
mountains  may  be  obtained.  A  horse  trail  from  the  chalet  takes  the 
visitor  to  Logan  Pass  on  the  south.  A  foot  trail  leads  him  to  the  top 
of  the  Garden  Wall  where  he  may  look  down  upon  the  Swiftcurrent 
and  the  Grinnell  Glaciers.  A  foot  trail  involving  an  hour's  climb 
to  the  top  of  Swiftcurrent  Peak  will  spread  before  the  tourist  one 
of  the  broadest  and  most  fascinating  views  in  any  land,  a  complete 
circle  including  all  of  Glacier  National  Park ;  also  generous  glimpses 
of  Canada  on  the  north,  the  Great  Plains  on  the  east,  and  the  Mon- 
tana Rockies  on  the  west. 

LOGAN    PASS. 

As  you  look  south  from  the  Granite  Park  Chalets  your  eje  is  held 
by  a  deep  depression  between  beautiful  Mount  Oberlin  and  the 
towering  limestones  of  Pollock  Mountain.  Through  this  and  beyond 
it  lie  the  Hanging  Gardens  dropping  from  a  rugged  spur  of  lofty 
Reynolds  Mountain.  Desire  is  strong  within  you  to  enter  these 
inviting  portals. 

This  picturesque  depression  is  Logan  Pass.  From  the  east  side  of 
the  Divide  it  is  approached  from  the  trail  wliich  connects  St.  Mary 
Lake  and  Lake  McDermott  by  way  of  Piegan  Pass.  On  the  west  side 
of  the  Divide,  one  trail  leads  directly  to  Lake  McDonald  through  the 
I^^cDonald  Creek  Valley  and  another  to  the  Granite  Park  Chalets. 

This  new  route  makes  possible  a  delightful  variet^^  of  trail  com- 
binations. It  opens  a  third  route  between  Lake  McDonald  and  the 
east  side.  From  Lake  McDonald  it  offers  a  roimd  trip  in  both  direc- 
tions by  way  of  Logan  and  Gunsight  Passes  and  the  Sperry  Glacier ; 
also  a  round  trip  including  Granite  Park.  From  St.  Mary  Lake  it 
offers  a  direct  route  to  Granite  Park  and  Waterton  Lake.  From 
Lake  McDermott  it  offers  another  route  to  St.  Mary  Lake  by  way  of 
Swiftcurrent  and  Logan  Passes,  and  a  round  trip  by  way  of  Swift- 
current, Logan,  and  Piegan  Passes. 

BKOWN  PASS. 

Brown  Pass,  the  trail  to  which  has  been  little  improved  since  the 
old  game  days  because  so  few  use  it,  is  destined  to  become  one  of  the 
celebrated  passes  of  America.  The  trail  from  the  east  side  passes 
from  Waterton  Lake  up  Olson  Valley  amid  scenery  as  sensational  as 
it  is  unusual,  along  the  shores  of  lakes  of  individuality  and  great 
beauty,  and  enters,  at  the  pass,  the  amazingly  wild  and  beautiful 
cirques  at  the  head  of  Bowman  Lake.    From  here,  a  trail  drops  down 


22  GLACIER  NATIONAL  PARK. 

to  Bowman  Lake  which  it  follows  to  its  outlet,  and  thence  to  a  junc- 
tion with  the  Flathead  Eiver  road.  This  road  leads  south  to  Lake 
McDonald  and  Belton.  A  second  trail  is  planned  to  connect  Brown 
Pass,  across  sensational  summits,  with  the  head  of  Kintla  Valley. 

SOUTH    AND    WEST    SIDE    VALLEYS. 
31'dONALD    VALLEY, 

The  western  entrance  to  the  park  is  at  Belton,  on  the  Great  North- 
ern Railroad,  3  miles  from  the  foot  of  beautiful  Lake  McDonald,  the 
largest  lake  in  the  park.  Glacier  Hotel  (Lewis's),  w^th  its  outlying 
cottages,  is  reached  by  automobile  stage  from  the  railroad  to  the 
foot  of  the  lake  and  from  there  by  connecting  boat.  It  is  also  reached 
from  the  east  side  by  trail  over  Gunsight  and  Swiftcurrent  Passes. 
The  lake  is  nearly  9  miles  long  and  is  wooded  everywhere  to  the 
water's  edge.  It  heads  up  among  lofty  mountains.  The  view  from 
its  waters,  culminating  in  the  Continental  Divide,  is  among  the  no- 
blest in  the  world.  Lake  McDonald  was  the  first  lake  to  be  opened 
and  settled.  Within  easy  distance  of  its  hotel  by  trail  are  some  of 
the  finest  spectacles  of  the  Rocky  Mountains,  among  them  the  Sperry 
Glacier,  Lake  Ellen  Wilson  and  its  magnificent  cascades  into  Little 
St.  Mary  Lake,  the  Gunsight  Pass,  the  celebrated  Avalanche  Basin, 
and  the  fine  fishing  lakes  of  the  Camas  Creek  Valley.  At  the  foot 
of  the  lake  passes  the  west  side  road  from  which  may  be  entered,  at 
their  outlets,  all  the  exquisite  valleys  of  the  west  side. 

VALLEYS    SOUTH    OF    m'uoNALD. 

The  west  side  valleys  south  of  Lake  McDonald  are  not  yet  suf- 
ficiently developed  to  be  of  tourist  impoi-tance. 

The  Harrison  Valley,  next  to  the  south,  is  inaccessible  above  the 
lake.  It  lies  between  Mount  Jackson  and  Blackfeet  Mountain,  ris- 
ing abruptly  4,000  feet  to  the  Continental  Divide  and  the  great 
Harrison  Glacier. 

The  Nyack  Valley,  still  farther  south,  carries  another  stream  of 
large  size.  It  is  surmounted  by  lofty  mountains,  of  which  Mount 
Stimson,  10,155  feet,  is  the  highest.  Other  peaks  are  Mounts  Pin- 
chot  and  Phillips,  and  Blackfeet  Mountain.  Pumpelly  is  tlie  largest 
of  the  several  glaciers. 

The  valleys  south  of  Nyack  liave  little  comparative  interest. 

VALLEYS    NORTH    OF    m'dONALD. 

The  valley  next  north  of  McDonald,  that  of  Camas  Creek,  con- 
tains six  exquisite  lakes.  The  chain  begins  in  a  pocket  gorge  below 
liongfellow  Peak. 


GLACIER   NATIONAL   PARK.  2^ 

Logging  Valley,  next  in  order,  a  spot  of  great  charm,  does  not 
suffer  by  comparison  with  its  more  spectacular  neighbors.  Quartz 
Valley  contains  four  most  attractive  lakes,  one  of  Avhich,  Cerulean 
Lake,  sheltered  by  some  of  the  most  imposing  peaks  in  the  entire  re- 
gion, deserves  to  be  better  known.  Rainbow  Glacier,  the  largest  of 
several  at  its  top,  hangs  almost  on  the  crest  of  Rainbow  Peak,  a 
mountain  of  remarkable  dignity  and  personality. 

BOWMAN    VALLEY. 

Bowman  Valley,  next  to  the  north,  is,  second  to  McDonald,  the 
princij^al  line  of  travel  on  the  west  side  of  the  park.  Bowman  Lake, 
though  known  to  few,  possesses  remarkable  beauty.  Its  shores  are 
wooded  like  those  of  Lake  McDonald,  which  it  suggests  in  many 
ways.  When  its  trail  reaches  the  level  of  Brown  Pass,  there  is  dis- 
closed a  lofty  cirque  area  of  great  magnificence.  Mount  Peabody, 
Boulder  Peak,  Mount  Carter,  the  Guardhouse,  and  the  serrated  wall 
of  the  Continental  Divide  are  topped  and  decorated  with  glaciers, 
their  rocky  precipices  streaked  perpendicularly  with  ribbons  of 
frothing  water.  Hole-in-the-Wall  Falls,  outlet  of  a  perpetual  snow 
field,  is  a  beautiful  oddity. 

KINTLA   VALLEY. 

The  Kintla  Valley,  which  occupies  the  northwestern  corner  of  the 
park,  is  in  many  respects  Glacier's  climax.  The  Boundary  Moun- 
tains, the  northern  side  of  the  steep  canyon  which  cradles  its  two 
superb  lakes,  are  here  exceedingly  steep  and  rugged.  The  south 
side  mountains,  Parke  Peak,  Kintla  Peak,  Kinnerly  Peak,  Mount 
Peabody,  and  Boulder  Peak,  are  indescribably  wild  and  impressive. 
Kintla  Peak,  especially,  rising  5,730  feet  abruptly  from  the  waters 
of  upper  Kintla  Lake  and  bearing  a  large  glacier  on  either  shoulder 
like  glistening  wings,  is  one  of  the  stirring  spectacles  of  America. 
The  time  is  coming  when  Kintla  Avill  be  a  familiar  name  even  abroad. 
The  Kintla  and  Agassiz  Glaciers  are  next  in  size  to  the  Blackfeet 
Glacier. 

LTp  to  the  present  time  it  has  been  possible  to  reach  Kintla  only  by 
a  long  forest  trail  from  the  Flathead  River  or  by  a  difficult  and  ob- 
scure trail  from  the  Canadian  side;  hence  its  few  visitors.  The 
trail  planned  from  Brown  Pass  crosses  the  Boulder  Glacier  and 
passes  in  its  descent  the  tongue  of  the  Kintla  Glacier,  a  remarkable 
spectacle.  Its  completion  will  make  a  supreme  American  beauty 
spot  readily  accessible  by  trail. 


24  GLACIER  NATIONAL  PARK. 

ADMINISTRATION. 

The  Glacier  National  Park  vras  established  by  the  act  of  May  11, 
1910  (36  Stat.,  351).  The  representative  of  the  National  Park 
Service  in  immediate  charge  of  the  park  is  the  superintendent,  Mr. 
W.  W.  Payne.  A  force  of  rangers  assist  this  officer  in  protecting 
the  reservation.  Exclusive  jurisdiction  over  the  park  was  ceded  to 
the  United  States  by  act  of  the  Montana  Legislature  of  February 
17,  1911,  and  accepted  by  Congress  by  act  approved  August  22,  1914 
(38  Stat.,  699).  Mr.  W.  C.  Lindsey  is  United  States  commissioner 
for  the  park. 

The  tourist  season  extends  from  June  15  to  September  15.  The 
address  of  the  superintendent  is  Belton,  Mont.  General  information 
may  be  obtained  from  the  superintendent,  and  all  complaints  should 
be  addressed  to  him. 

HOW  TO  REACH  THE  PARK. 

The  park  entrances  are  on  the  main  transcontinental  line  of  the 
Great  Northern  Eailroad.  Glacier  Park  Station,  Mont.,  the  prm- 
cipal  and  eastern  entrance,  is  1,081  miles  west  of  St.  Paul,  a  ride  of 
34  hours.  Belton,  Mont.,  the  western  entrance,  is  637  miles  east  of 
Seattle,  a  ride  of  22  hours.  Good  train  service  is  available  from 
Chicago,  St.  Paul,  Minneapolis,  St.  Louis,  Kansas  City,  Omaha, 
Denver,  Portland,  Seattle,  and  Spokane,  connecting  with  trains  from 
all  other  sections. 

During  summer  season  round-trip  excursion  tickets  at  reduced 
fares  are  sold  at  practically  all  points  in  the  United  States  and 
Canada  to  Glacier  Park  as  a  destination ;  also  to  Glacier  and  Yellow- 
stone National  Parks,  enabling  tourists  to  make  circuit  tours  of  these 
two  parks  and,  if  journeying  through  Colorado,  side  trips  to  Eocky 
Mountain  and  Mesa  Verde  National  Parks,  if  desired. 

Passengers  wishing  to  visit  Glacier  National  Park  en  route  to 
other  destinations  may  stop  over  at  Glacier  Park  Station  or  at  Bel-

26  GLACIER   NATIONAL  PARK. 

WESTERN  ENTRANCE. 

Belton,  Mont.,  is  the  western  entrance  to  the  national  park  and  the 
address  of  the  superintendent.  The  road  from  Belton  rims  to  Fish 
Creek  on  Lake  McDonald  and  up  the  Flathead  Eiver.  Trails  lead  to 
points  of  interest,  skirting  beautiful  lakes,  and  trips  iimj  be  taken 
on  trails  leading  from  the  Flathead  Eiver  Eoad  to  Logging,  Quartz, 
Bowman,  and  Kintla  Lakes,  and  reach  great  glacial  amphitheaters, 
rock  pinnacles,  ridges,  and  hanging  glaciers.  The  Bowman  Trail 
crosses  the  mountain  range  through  Brown  Pass.  The  ambitious 
explorer  may  make  many  interesting  excui-sions  with  guide  and 
proper  equipment. 

HOW   TO   BUESS. 

As  a  rule  tourists  are  inclined  to  carry  too  much.  A  very  inex- 
pensive and  simple  outfit  is  required — old  clothes  and  stout  shoes  are 
the  rule.  For  a  week's  to  two  weeks'  trip,  either  afoot  or  horseback, 
the  following  list  is  about  all  that  is  required  : 

1  suit  of  old  clothes. 

1  sweater  or  mackiuaw  wool  jacket. 

2  suits   of  wool   underwear    (medium 

weight). 

3  pairs  of  wool  socks  (heavy). 
1  pair  of  stout  lace  shoes  or  hunting 

boots. 
1  pair  of  canvas  leggings  (if  shoes  are 
worn). 

The  above,  together  with  toilet  articles,  will  go  in  a  compact  bundle 
and  can  be  put  in  haversack  or  bag.  Women  should  have  eitlier  stout 
shoes  or  boots  and  riding  trousers  or  short  divided  riding  skirts. 

Essential  articles  of  clothing  of  good  quality,  including  boots, 
shoes,  haversacks,  slickers,  blankets,  camping  equipment,  provisions, 
etc.,  may  be  purchased  at  well-stocked  commissaries  at  Glacier  Park 
Station  and  at  St.  Mary  and  Many  Glacier  Chalets.  The  Glacier 
Park  Hotel  Co.,  which  operates  these  commissaries,  also  makes  a 
practice  of  renting,  at  a  nominal  figure,  slickers,  riding  trousers, 
mackinaw  coats,  and  other  overgarments. 

Stores  carrying  a  similar  general  line  of  articles  most  useful  in 
making  park  trips  are  located  at  Belton,  Mont.,  the  western  entrance 
to  the  park,  and  at  Glacier  Hotel  (Lewis's)  at  the  head  of  Lake 
McDonald. 

An  overnight  stopping  place  is  maintained  at  Christensen's  ranch 
on  the  Flathead  Eiver  road  about  2  miles  south  of  Logging  Creek, 
where  travelers  and  horses  are  accommodated.  A  small  store  carry- 
ing some  provisions,  principally  lunch  stuff,  cigars,  tobacco,  and 
fisherman's  supplies,  is  at  the  foot  of  Lake  McDonald. 


2  pairs  of  cotton  gloves. 

1  old  felt  hat. 

1  rubber  blanket  or  raincoat,  if  on 
walking  tour.  Waterproof  slickers 
are  furnished  free  with  saddle 
horses.

is  uncomfortably  cold,  and  for  this  reason  is  not  enjoyed  except  by 
the  most  hardy. 

DANCING. 

At  all  of  the  principal  hotels  in  the  park  dancing  is  provided 
each  evening  for  the  guests,  good  music  being  furnished  for  this 
purpose.  At  some  of  the  chalets  there  is  opportunity  for  impromptu 
dancing,  as  phonographs  or  pianos  are  provided  for  furnishing 
music.  All  dancing  is,  of  course,  strictly  informal  and  usually  oc- 
curs in  the  grill  room  or  sometimes  in  amusement  halls  which  are 
operated  in  conjunction  with  the  hotels. 

HORSEBACK  KIDING. 

The  most  popular  amusement  to  be  found  throughout  the  entire 
park  is  that  of  horseback  riding,  and  at  hotels  and  chalets  it  is  pos- 
sible to  hire  horses  for  the  purpose  of  taking  short  trips  to  the 
various  points  of  interest  which  may  be  found  in  that  vicinity;  and 
even  though  the  tourists  may  take  long  trail  rides  from  one  hotel  or 
chalet  group  to  another  they  never  tire  of  horseback  riding,  for  it 
is  by  this  means  better  than  any  other  that  one  is  able  to  see  the 
most  interesting  places  in  the  park. 

FISHING. 

The  waters  of  Glacier  National  Tark  abound  in  fish.  All  species 
of  trout  have  been  planted,  in  order  to  determine  which  are  the 
more  adaptable.     So  far  all  the  fish  have  done  well,  owing  to  the 


GLACIER   NATIONAL  PARK.  45- 

abundant  natural  fish  foods  and  because  the  waters  vary  scarcely 
a  degree  in  temperature  the  year  round.  The  varieties  are  cutthroat, 
eastern  brook,  steelhead,  landlocked  salmon,  rainbo\Y  and  grayling. 
Eastern  brook  and  cutthroat  are  the  most  abundant.  Many  of 
these,  which  exceeded  6  pounds,  were  taken  the  past  season  by  tourists, 
and  these  from  waters  stocked  in  1915.  Enough  of  these  varieties 
rise  to  the  fly  to  guarantee  good  sport.  The  ever-abundant  grass- 
hopper may  be  used  successfully  by  those  not  skilled  in  the  use  of 
the  fly.  During  the  past  season  one  catch  of  20  fish  weighed  02 
pounds,  all  taken  with  a  fly.  In  the  larger  lakes  a  Mackinaw  or 
Dolly  Yarden  weighing  40  pounds  is  a  possibility.  Occasionally  a 
Mackinaw  may  be  caught  with  fine  rod  and  tackle.  All  fishing  must 
be  in  conformity  with  the  park  regulations. 

Txoo  Medicine  Chalets. — Two  Medicine  Lake  has  become  known 
for  its  eastern  brook  trout,  probably  the  most  palatable  and  gamest 
fish  in  the  park.  Good  fishing  is  also  found  in  the  Two  Medicine 
Eiver  below  Trick  Falls,  and  in  Lower  Two  Medicine  Lake.  These 
lakes  are  probably  better  stocked  than  an}^  in  the  park,  because  of 
the  proximity  to  the  hatchery  at  the  eastern  entrance. 

Cut  BanJt  Chalets. — This  camp  is  located  on  the  banks  of  the 
north  fork  of  Cut  Bank  Creek,  which  may  be  fished  both  ways  from 
the  camp  for  a  distance  of  from  3  to  5  miles.  Cutthroat  inhabits 
this  section,  and  the  fisherman  who  takes  the  center  of  the  stream  and 
fishes  with  skill  is  sure  of  a  well-filled  creel.  The  south  fork  of  Cut 
Bank  Creek  is  also  a  wild  little  stream,  well  stocked,  but  little  known. 

St.  Mary  Chalets. — St.  Mary  Lake  is  the  home  of  the  Mackinaw 
trout,  but  also  contains  flat  trout  and  cutthroat.  Numerous  streams 
empty  into  this  lake,  and  with  fly  or  spinner  a  goodly  toll  may  be 
taken.  Eed  Eagle  Lake,  easily  reached  from  St.  Mary  Chalets,  is 
one  of  the  best  fisliing  spots  in  the  park.  There  is  also  good  fishing 
in  Eed  Eagle  Creek. 

Going -to-the-Sun  Chalets. — Baring  Creek,  which  empties  into  St. 
Mary  Lake  about  a  mile  above  the  camp,  will  be  found  worthy  of  a 
visit.  For  the  large  Mackinaw  trout  the  upper  end  of  the  lake  is  a 
good  place.  Gunsight  Lake,  within  easy  reach,  has  been  well  stocked 
with  brook  trout. 

Many  Glacier  Hotel. — Sherburne  Lake  is  literally  alive  with  pike, 
Lake  Superior  whitefish,  rainbow  and  cutthroat  trout.  Pike  are 
readily  taken  with  the  troll,  and  often  a  cutthroat.  Swiftcurrent 
Eiver,  emptjdng  into  this  lake,  affords  good  stream  fishing  for  the  fly 
caster.  McDermott,  Grinnell,  and  Josephine  Lakes  are  becoming- 
known  for  cutthroat,  brook,  and  rainboAv  trout.  Big  catches  were 
made  last  season.  Cracker  Lake  is  always  ready  to  fill  the  creel  with  a 
small  black  spotted  trout. 


46  GLACIER   NATIONAL  PARK. 

The  north  and  south  forks  of  Kenne'l}^  Creek,  inchicling  Slide  Lake, 
are  excellent  for  stream  fishing,  cutthroats  being  in  abundance.  Belly 
River  is  an  ideal  stream  for  the  man  who  cares  not  for  getting  -wet — a 
stream  full  of  crooks  and  turns,  with  an  eddy  at  every  turn,  and  a  hole 
that  looks  better  than  the  last  at  every  crook.  With  overhanging 
foliage  and  the  right  amount  of  buried  snags  to  conceal  the  vigilant 
cutthroat,  this  is  a  paradise  for  the  camper.  Waterton  Lake  is  another 
of  the  big  lakes  and  home  of  the  big  fish.  Many  streams  empty  into 
this  lake  that  is  shadowed  by  the  highest  mountain  in  the  park; 
and  beneath  this  shadow  are  fish  from  Hudson  Bay.  Mackinaw, 
Doll}'-  Varden,  flat  and  cutthroat  trout  are  innumerable. 

Lake  McDonald,  McDonald  Creek,  and  Avalanche  Lake  may  also 
be  fished  with  good  results. 

Fishing  tackle  of  the  best  grade  is  always  obtainable  at  the  two 
general  stores  in  Glacier  Park,  and  also  at  the  store  at  Waterton 
Lake.  The  hotel  companj^  also  carries  a  line  at  Glacier  Park  and 
Many  Glacier  Hotels. 

INTOEMATION,  UTILITIES,  ETC. 

INFORMATION. 

General  information  with  respect  to  the  park  may  be  obtained  by 
inquiry  at  the  office  of  the  park  superintendent  near  the  Belton 
entrance  of  the  park,  or  at  the  offices  of  the  principal  hotels ;  and  a 
topogi-aphic  map  of  the  park  may  be  secured  at  the  principal  hotels 
or  from  the  park  superintendent  for  25  cents. 

MEDICAL    SERVICE. 

Qualified  or  trained  nurses  are  in  attendance  at  the  Many  Glacier 
and  Glacier  Park  Hotels,  from  which  places  emergenc}^  remedies  may 
be  secured  and  such  first-aid  treatment  as  may  be  necessary  in  most 
cases.  A  house  physician  is  usually  stationed  at  Glacier  Park  Hotel, 
and  it  is  nearly  always  possible  to  find  among  the  registered  guests  of 
the  various  hotels  one  or  more  physicians  whose  assistance  may  be 
secured  in  the  case  of  acute  illness  or  serious  injury. 

LIVERY. 

Horse-drawn  livery  rigs  for  trips  to  various  points  on  the  west 
side  of  the  park  may  be  secured  from  Mr.  John  Weightman,  at 
Belton,  or  at  the  foot  of  Lake  McDonald.

WILD  ANIMALS. 

The  animal  life  in  Glacier  National  Park  is  both  varied  and  abun- 
dant, but  in  the  height  of  the  tourist  season  when  the  greatest  number 
of  people  are  on  the  trails  and  anxious  to  see  the  game,  many  of  the 
larger  species  have  apparently  vanished.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  tliey 
have  withdrawn  to  undisturbed  areas,  where  to  be  studied  at  close 
quarters  they  must  be  followed  quietly  and  not  by  large  and  noisy 
parties.  Not  all  can  be  found  at  any  one  time  or  place,  as  the  moose 
frequent  the  deepest  forests,  the  elk  the  open  ridges,  and  the  white 
goats  and  moimtain  sheep  the  high  mountain  crests  and  cliffs.  The 
bear  are  seen  by  many  of  the  \dsitors  near  the  hotels  and  camps, 
while  the  mule  deer,  white-tail  deer,  and  some  of  the  other  large  game 
species  occasionally  appear  along  the  trails.  The  more  abundant 
small  mammals  are  to  be  found  about  the  hotels  and  camps  and  along 
the  trails  in  both  forest  and  open,  especially  by  those  who  have 
learned  to  go  quietly  and  keep  their  eyes  and  ears  alert  for  the  quick 
motions  and  strange  voices  of  the  little  wild  creatures.  Often  by  sit- 
ting quietly  in  the  shade  for  a  half  hour  one  will  see  more  of  the 
timid  wild  life  than  in  a  half  day's  vigorous  walking. 

The  visitor  who  is  interested  in  the  wild  life  of  the  park  should 
purchase  the  Government  publication  entitled  "Wild  Animals  of 


GLACIER   ISTATIOIS^AL  PARK.  §i^ 

Glacier  National  Park."  It  describes  the  birds  and  animals  both 
popularly  and  scientifically  and  tells  how  one  may  identify  them. 

The  data  on  the  mamnials  for  this  book  were  collected  and  pre- 
pared for  publication  by  Mr.  Vernon  Bailey,  chief  field  naturalist  of 
tlie  Bureau  of  Biological  Survey  of  the  Department  of  Agriculture, 
and  the  data  on  the  birds  were  collected  and  prepared  by  Mrs.  Flor- 
ence Merriam  Bailey,  the  author  of  Handbook  of  Birds  of  the  West- 
ern United  States. 

This  book,  published  by  the  National  Park  Sendee,  contains  210 
pages,  94  text  figures,  37  plates,  including  a  map,  and  can  be  pur- 
chased on  personal  application  at  the  office  of  the  park  superintend- 
ent at  Belton  (western  entrance),  or  at  the  registration  office  of  the 
park  at  Glacier  Park  Hotel  (eastern  entrance)  for  50  cents  a  copy. 
It  can  also  be  obtained  from  the  Superintendent  of  Documents,  Gov- 
ernment Printing  Office,  Washington,  D.  C,  for  the  same  price.  No 
additional  charge  for  postage.

lations will  be  punishable  by  revocation  of  automobile  permit,  or  by 
immediate  ejectment  from  the  park,  or  by  a  fine  not  to  exceed  $500, 
or  six  months'  imprisonment,  or  by  any  combination  of  these  penal- 
ties, and  be  cause  for  refusal  to  issue  a  new  automobile  permit  to  the 
offender  without  prior  sanction  in  writing  from  the  Director  of  the 
National  Park  Service  or  the  superintendent  of  the  park. 

17.  Reduced  engine  potcer.,  gasoline^  etc. — Due  to  the  high  altitude 
of  the  park  roads,  ranging  between  3,000  and  5,000  feet,  the  power 
of  all  automobiles  is  much  reduced,  so  that  a  leaner  mixture  and 
about  40  per  cent  more  gasoline  will  be  required  than  for  the  same 
distance  at  lower  altitudes.  Likewise,  one  gear  lower  will  generally 
have  to  be  used  on  grades  than  would  have  to  be  used  in  other  places. 
A  further  effect  that  must  be  watched  is  the  heating  of  the  engine 
on  long  grades,  which  may  become  serious  unless  care  is  used.  Gaso- 
line can  be  purchased  at  regular  supply  stations  as  per  posted  notices.

configuration  of  the  surface  as  it  would  appear  to  a  person  flying  ove.-  it. 
The  meadows  and  valleys  are  shown  in  light  green,  the  streams  and  lakes  in 
light  blue,  the  cliffs  and  ridges  in  combinations  of  colors,  and  the  road-;  in 
light  brown.  The  lettering  is  printed  in  light  brown,  which  is  easily  read  on 
close  inspection,  but  which  merges  into  the  basic  colors  when  the  sheet  is 
held  at  some  distance.
